[GMW #4143] Dominanting Powers Dissolve Into Small Powers To Resolve Issues

[GMW #4143] Dominanting Powers Dissolve Into Small Powers To Resolve Issues Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4533 ~
Dr. Bellaunde, an Ambassador of Peru to the UN, once said to Dag Hammarskjöld, "When there is a problem between two little countries, the problem disappears. When there is a problem between a little country and a big country, the little country disappears. When there is a problem between two big countries, the United Nations disappears."

Today, since the United States has become the dominant big power in the world, one could say: all problems, all little countries, all medium countries and the United Nations disappear.

"I am not an Athenian, I am not a Greek,
I am a world citizen," said Socrates

[GMW #3766] Create A Better People's Representation At The United Nations


[GMW #3766] Create A Better People's Representation At The United Nations Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 4161 ~
Regarding ways to assure a better people's representation at the United Nations, two first progresses could be considered:

1. To create a Consultative World Parliament of the United Nations, as was done in Europe to facilitate the creation of the European Union. The Parliament of Europe has recommended it to the UN.

2. To make the Union of International Associations in Brussels a full specialized agency of the United Nations.

Robert's The Miracle, Joy and Art of Living,
Volume III - The Seasons of Life
Chapter 7 - Return to Mother Earth
I believe that only those who see themselves after their death will survive in the memory of humankind.

As Socrates said:
"The nearest way to glory is to strive to be what you wish to be thought to be."

Or as U Thant said:
"I want to be remembered as a kind and good man who understood others."

[GMW #3588] Create Centers For The Future Of Humanity And Of The Earth


[GMW #3588] Create Centers For The Future Of Humanity And Of The Earth Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 3983 ~
In a television interview Frank Kelly, the former speech writer of President Truman recommended that the UN should create the position of High Commissioner for Hope and a Center for Humanity's Future. He is absolutely right. I would add to the latter the Earth, i.e. a Center for the Future of Humanity and of the Earth.

"The greatest power of a human is to be of service."
~ Socrates

I would add:
"And your recompense will be happiness."

[GMW #3541] Create A Proper Earth Government - Part 1


[GMW #3541] Create A Proper Earth Government - Part 1 Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 3001 to 4000
~ Idea 3936 ~
I offer further below a framework within which the work for the creation of a proper Earth government can be undertaken immediately.
"The primary cause of all disorders lies in the different state governments and in the tenacity of that power which pervades the whole of their systems." ~ George Washington

"Is there a doubt whether a common government can embrace a larger sphere? Let experience solve it...It is well worth a fair and full experiment." ~ George Washington

"The Republic is a dream. Nothing happens unless first a dream." ~ George Washington
If he lived today, he would say:
The Earth Republic is a dream.
Nothing happens unless first a dream.
"It will be just as easy for nations to get along in a republic of the world as it is for you to get along in the republic of the United States." ~ President Harry S. Truman

"With all my heart I believe that the world's present system of sovereign nations can lead only to barbarism, war and inhumanity. There is no salvation for civilization, or even the human race, other than the creation of a world government." ~ Albert Einstein

"Humankind's desire for peace can be realized only by the creation of a world government." ~ Albert Einstei

Socrates said:  "Know thyself." 
Jesus said:       "Change thyself." 

We should do assiduously both.

WORD FOR THE DAY
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.
